The hotel stands on the former North Head Quarantine Station. Originally occupied by the Garrigal people, North Head was a meeting place with strong spiritual significance. In the 1830s a quarantine station was established, which operated until 1984.
Migrants suspected of carrying contagious disease were quarantined at the site to protect the local Sydney community from infection.
Originally chosen for its isolation and safe anchorage options, the site today comprises 65 buildings, several archeological sites and spectacular vantage points for viewing Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Harbour National Park.
Picture does look somewhat utilitarian.......but website looks a little better...hopefully. Blair has been on a Ghost tour there this weekend! Hope they've all moved out by the time I arrive in a week or so!
